-----------
Vibranium found in the era of Kai was amazing, but there was one weakness, it could only be used once. While encountering huge external energy after absorbing a certain amount of energy, it would automatically burn up and turn into a pile of black charcoal. One could say that it was disposable.
Resulting in the battle against Lucy's army of magicians, the magic attack destroyed almost all of the vibranium shields. The original 500 pounds of Vibranium in storage was almost used up and now there was only a tiny amount of vibranium left. It was sealed and stored in the royal tomb until today.
Elizabeth immediately had someone experiment and the results of the experiments were quite unexpected. Its performance was better than what was described in the books.
At first, Elizabeth thought it was not vibranium but another metal. However, the latter was compared with the sealed vibranium, and discovered that it was the same kind of metal, this was very surprising. No one knew why.
"Could it be that after Greater Terra evolved for over a hundred years, Vibranium followed suit and upgraded?" Sebastian couldn't help but have this guess in his heart!
It was not just the deposit that had increased, in addition, its performance was also upgraded. As for the current vibranium, it could absorb more energy. If made into a shield, the power of the energy that could be resisted was also greater.
The discovery of the new vibranium made all scientists very happy. Originally, for this magical metal that was only recorded in books, people had a yearning for it. That was while following the god and in the battle against alien races, it was a god-given metal.
However, because the sealed vibranium was too little, Elizabeth herself resisted the urge to experiment.
The time had come and a new type of research team was quickly assembled, dedicated to the study of vibranium. Soon, a young scientist came up with a bold idea.
Since both vibranium and Starfall Iron were so amazing, why not combine both of them? What would happen when it was made into an alloy? Once this idea was proposed, all of the scientists lit up and the thick fire of curiosity rose.
Elizabeth was also very interested.
The research team brought in equipment and raw materials, and the journey of combined refining of Vibranium and Starfall Iron started. This project was not possible for it to produce results in a short time.
At this time, another temporarily overlooked research group, Firearms Research Group, produced a new test result. A more advanced gun than a shotgun was produced. The original gun was better than the flintlock gun but there were still the consistent weaknesses of traditional guns, ammo was a pain in the a*s to reload. In addition, after every time you shoot, one has to reload the ammo. It was tedious and troublesome.
The new gun completely changed this situation at that time as it changed the structure of the original gun. The location of the ammunition was changed from the front to the back. This gun that loaded ammunition from the rear of the body barrel consisted of a body barrel, a gun mechanism, a firing mechanism, and a stock.
It fired paper-cased bullets. When in use, the shooter uses the bolt to push the bullet into the chamber from behind.
After pulling the trigger, the long firing pin on the bolt pierces the paper cartridge case, hitting the primer and igniting the propellant. Followed by, shooting the projectile out, after the firing pin pierced the bottom of the paper cartridge to hit the primer.
Some Scientists called it a "pinpoint firing gun".
At the same time, as the bullets of this rear-loading gun needed to be loaded into the barrel one by one, most people called it a "rear-loading single-shot gun." Both parties had the right to this naming, so there was a lot of bickering.
In the end, with a pat on the back from Elizabeth, this new gun was named, Rifle.
The birth of the rifle was a major change in the history of firearms development. It completely changed the original tactics of queuing shooting and it was known to future generations as the beginning of modern firearms.
At least, there was a basic prototype. Because the initial rifle was still not quite perfect, loading bullets still seemed to be more troublesome.
After the research group was greatly improved with Elizabeth, more power work on improving the rifle began again. This time, there was some disagreement in the group.
Some people thought that the structure of the rifle was now largely approaching maturity, so there was no need to continue improving. The direction should be put on the bullet.
Some people remained the same and are continuing to improve the structure.
The two sides did not get along well and were divided into two groups, each of them led the research in their direction.
Elizabeth saw this but also did not step in to coordinate as long as there were no irreconcilable conflicts, she just let these scientists play. She expected that maybe there would be unexpected gains.
Time passed quickly.
The alloy construction plan of vibranium and Starfall Iron was unexpectedly difficult. Even if it was a large investment of human and material resources, it was not possible to see results in the short term. In one year, almost nothing was achieved.
This also made many scientists feel a little frustrated and many people dropped out of the group but many still stayed.
Elizabeth had grown another year, she was initially grown up as she celebrated her fifteenth birthday. The growth and development of humans on Greater Terra were a little faster than in the previous life on Earth.
According to the law, sixteen was the age of adulthood. During this year, a lot happened in the Imperium as well as in the capital.
Max fell ill and his physical condition was getting worse day by day. One by one, the people under him began to plot another way out. Among the descendants of the royal family, Prince Vale was starting to emerge.
At several poetry meetings and banquets, he did it all perfectly and it left many people in awe. In addition, Max was seriously ill, and some ministers and wealthy families turned to Prince Vale.
Inside the Imperial Palace, everyone's smiles seemed to be back. Every day, scientists went missing from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, it was still sneaky. Along with Max's illness, the Ministry of Punishment's officials also did not bother to cover up and each scientist was explicitly priced.
Whoever gives more money, could claim them. In addition, it was also very business-like, as an auction was held once a month for this.
The people involved in the competition were Abel, Vale, Stenger, and other parties recognized as lords. There were also Fujimori and Li Er, who were not well-known powerhouses. The Astra Militarum naturally could not miss it.
But in the prison, there were thousands of other scientists, so no one could take all of them. Elizabeth drew up a list of names. Following the list of the auction list, not every scientist was a genius or valuable. For now, Elizabeth only needed scientists who were helpful for the current research.
With the money from the sale of firearms, Elizabeth also bought a lot of scientists that she wanted, but some were taken by others. If it was someone very talented, she let Cross lead the Astra Militarum to take action to directly take them halfway.
Overall, in that year, in the Imperium, there were undercurrents but the surface was still relatively calm.
As the New Year passed, a big war suddenly broke out. The two sides of this war were the two largest forces in the southeastern lakes, Wootton's side as well as Fujimori's side were the largest forces. Wootton was the force with the most troops in the southeast region, so many people also thought that they had the qualifications to compete in the world as Fujimori was much weaker.
The two sides spread out in the lake and an intense water battle was fought. After many days of fighting, Fujimori severely damaged Wootton's fleet by relying on more advanced ships, better firearms, and Anderson's advice. They destroyed most of the opponent's main force and Wootton fled in a hurry.
After this war, no one could stop Fujimori's anymore in the entire southeastern region and a new hero was rising.

"The captain is seriously ill, all of you, go back first." In front of Max's mansion, a group of ministers came to visit, but they were all stopped by the cold-faced Daniel in front of the mansion.
The original Max Mansion was very cold, so no one came here. However, in the last few days, as the news spread that Max's condition was getting worse, every well-known minister came to visit.
"Humph-!" Watching these ministers leave, Daniel could not help but grunt coldly.
He was clear about the intentions of these people. It was just to see, was his adoptive father dying yet?
"Daniel, have you thought this through?" Back in the courtyard, a figure appeared in front of Daniel.
This was a middle-aged man who looked very special and his name was Augustine Millard, he was Li Tang's powerful associate.
In Li Tang here, Li referred to the large family Li and Tang means, one of the largest families, the Tang family. According to the rumors, the Tang family was founded by a retired scientist in the era of Kai. It had been in existence for hundreds of years.
Beyond the three institutes, there were very few other places where scientists could be produced.
